Consider two& spheres $A$ and $B$ of the same size and made of the same material. The sphere $A$ is hollow while& the& sphere $B$ & is solid. If both the spheres are heated to the same temperature, then

Options

A $A$ expands more than $B$
B $A$ expands less than $B$
Cboth the spheres expand equally
Ddata is insufficient.

Correct answer

C. both the spheres expand equally

Step-by-step solution

A cavity in a material expands in exactly the same way as if the cavity were filled with material. Thus, both spheres will expand by the same amount.
